Chapter 21 Don't Move, Just Stay Here
"I heard that children this age are the most difficult to deal with. I often see videos of parents helping their children with homework, and they are almost going crazy."

"That's right, today I can finally relax."

While talking, Xu Lin went forward to take the bag from Lin Jiang's hand.
"Give me two. Four is too heavy for you to carry."

"It's okay, we'll be at the elevator soon."

Lin Jiang quickened his pace and soon reached the elevator entrance.

Seeing that the elevator was stopped on the negative 1st floor, Xu Lin stepped forward and pressed the button, and Lin Jiang took the things into the elevator.

"I bought a lot of things. Are you in good condition? Can you have a drink?"

"Men can't say no."

"That's what you said. Let me show you my cooking skills today."

The elevator reached the 16th floor. Xu Lin went to open the door and Lin Jiang took the things in.

Xu Lin's home is very large, with a usable area of ​​at least 100 square meters.
The decoration is modern and simple, with a hint of luxury in the details. It is estimated that a lot of money was spent on the decoration.

After entering the door, Xu Lin took off her flat shoes and found a pair of men's slippers for Lin Jiang from the shoe cabinet.

"You should wear this, it's new."

"Ah."

Because Xu Lin was the only one at home, Lin Jiang was not shy. After helping her take the things to the kitchen, he sat on the sofa.

Xu Lin returned to the bedroom and changed into pajamas.

"These pajamas..."

Originally, Lin Jiang thought Xu Lin would wear the cotton pajamas she wore a few days ago, but unexpectedly, she changed into a set of black silk pajamas with lace at the hem.

This outfit makes her look more stylish.

When they arrived in the kitchen, Xu Lin washed some fruits for Lin Jiang and placed them in front of him.

"Eat something first. I'll go cook and we'll be able to eat later."

"Not in a hurry."

Taking an apron and tying it around her waist, Xu Lin started busying herself in the kitchen, and the breath of life filled the air.

Lin Jiang suddenly felt that finding a woman who was good at managing the household and living a peaceful life with her seemed to be a very happy thing.

With nothing to do, Lin Jiang lay on the sofa and browsed his phone.

Not long after, the system prompt sounded.

[The countdown for the cashback card has ended. Within the specified time, the player spent a total of 253009 yuan and received a cashback of 506018 yuan]

Lin Jiang took out his mobile phone and saw that the cash reward had arrived.

When I got married, my mother borrowed 30 yuan from me for the down payment and decoration. This money can be used to pay off debts.

But it doesn’t matter a moment, we’ll talk about it tomorrow.

The remaining 20 can be used as working capital.

But now there is still the parking space issue that needs to be resolved.

Although this money is enough to buy one, I think it is unnecessary because I am not sure whether I will live here permanently in the future.

"Do you know about the parking spaces in the community? How much does it cost per month to rent?" Lin Jiang asked from a distance.

"You want to rent a parking space?"

"I want to know the market situation."

"Parking spaces in our community are not expensive. If you rent one, it's about 10,000 yuan a year, but if you want to rent it, it's free."

Lin Jiang laughed, "Why is it free here?"

"When we first moved in, we bought three parking spaces as an investment. Now we use two of them, and one is vacant. We are planning to rent it out. If you want to rent it, tell me the license plate number and I will call the property management to report it."

"I'm so sorry, just collect the rent normally. I'll transfer 10,000 to you and rent it for a year first."

"Boss Lin has become rich, so he wants to buy a car."

"You are still far from getting rich. It's just a way for you to get around. You should take the money quickly." Lin Jiang said with a smile.

"Let's talk later. I'm cooking."

"Row."

Lin Jiang was lying on the sofa, playing with his phone while watching Xu Lin cook.

She was very skilled at cooking, washing, cutting and cooking vegetables all in one go, which even Chen Jingxian couldn't compare to.

Lin Jiang felt a sense of déjà vu in this scene, as such scenes often appeared in the movies he had watched before.

At that time, Lin Jiang didn’t understand what was so good about this scene and why it was used in every movie.

Many years later, when facing Xu Lin cooking, Lin Jiang recalled the distant afternoon when he watched a movie alone. He understood everything.

The educational significance of film and television works has a lag, and the teachings of several teachers have completed a closed loop at this moment.

More than half an hour later, Xu Lin had prepared four dishes and a soup, two of which were ready-made side dishes.

"Stop playing with your phone and come over to eat."

As he spoke, Xu Lin went to the kitchen and took out the boiled red wine.

"Drink this first, then the others."

"I'm a guest, so I can drink whatever the host wants."

"That won't do. Guests must be entertained well."

Xu Lin took out a goblet, poured half a cup into each person's cup, and with a light bang, a clear and pleasant wind chime sound was emitted.

"What car have you taken a fancy to? I know some friends who sell cars and can help you get in touch with them."

"I've already bought it. I'll pick it up in a few days."

"Wow, it's going pretty fast. What brand is it, an SUV or a sedan?"

"you guess."

"You're still keeping me in suspense." Xu Lin smiled calmly, "I don't know much about cars, so I can't guess it. Anyway, I'll know in a few days. Have a sip."

He clinked the glass again and took two sips, finishing almost half of the drink.

"Ma Shangxi is gone. It should be much easier now."

"I was just about to tell you about this." Xu Lin put down her chopsticks and said with a smile that was hard to hide on her face:
"That woman has been quiet these past two days and no longer flirts at the counter. Now it depends on how long she can hold out."

"If her prices are consistently lower than yours, you may not be able to hold out against her."

"So I plan to change my strategy and lower the quality. The price can be much cheaper. Otherwise, I won't be competitive at all."

"This is also a solution. After all, now that Ma Shangxi is gone, you can do business peacefully."

"My problem is not serious. The problem is mainly you. Although the noodle shop is not big, it cannot be supported by you alone." Xu Lin said:

"When I was sending him to school this morning, I saw a new noodle shop opened next to your house. It seemed to say it would open the day after tomorrow. Your competitor is here."

"Do you know who owns that store?"

Xu Lin looked at Lin Jiang, "Who?"

"Brother Ma Shangxi." Lin Jiang said:

"Maybe the food city's business was not doing well, so he moved out and opened a store next to my house."

"It's obvious that they are going against you. I guess after they open, their prices will definitely be cheaper than yours. After they have ruined you, they will return to normal prices. You have to think of a strategy to deal with it."

"The house will expire in more than three months. Let's just start a price war with him. Let's see who can afford the compensation."

"I didn't realize you're such a ruthless kid, but are you sure you can afford the compensation?"

"I will sell it at cost price, not making a penny. He will definitely not be able to outlast me."

"What a courageous person."

Xu Lin raised her glass and said, "Sister, I'll toast you."

"cheers."

They both drank the wine in their glasses, and Xu Lin refilled Lin Jiang's glass.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, neither of them ate much, but they drank a lot of wine.

Lin Jiang has a good alcohol tolerance and is slightly tipsy. Xu Lin's face is slightly red and she has already put one hand on her forehead.

"That's enough. I've finished the whole bottle, so it's not too little."

"I'll take a moment."

Xu Lin stood up with the help of the table, her steps a little weak.

Lin Jiang stood up to help her, but Xu Lin didn't care about the physical contact.

He helped her onto the sofa and bent over to place a cushion under her head.

The strap of her nightgown slipped off, Xu Lin raised her lips slightly, her eyes were dazed, and she hugged Lin Jiang's neck.

Lin Jiang's heartbeat quickened, and the atmosphere became tense.

If I don’t do something, readers won’t be able to vote for me monthly.

Lin Jiang grabbed Xu Lin by the waist and picked her up.

"It's fine right here..."
